Re: Xy on XP

Many thanks!

I'm a writer. More than decade ago (from 86-94) I used to spend hour after hour creating very
detailed xpl programs and very useful tricks with the dictionary and keyboard. But as I've moved
from job to job and system to system, (always more hostile to xy) each time I lose flexibility and
have less time for tinkering with the programs.

I hope to be able to get into it more again.
